KeepassXC Interface Overview

KeepassXC Interface Overview

  In the previous post, I introduced you to KeepassXC software. This is open-source software and it is the best free password manager software. Today I will continue to present an overview of the interface of this software.

First of all, let's talk about Application Layout

The KeePassXC interface is designed for simplicity and easy access to your information. The central database view is split into three primary partitions detailed below. You can open multiple databases at the same time, they will appear in tabs.

(A) Groups - Organize your entries into discrete groups to bring order to all of your sensitive information. Groups can be nested under each other to create a hierarchy. Settings from parent groups get applied to their children. You can hide this panel on the View menu.

(B) Tags - Dynamic groups of entries that can be quickly displayed with one click. Any number of custom tags can be added when editing an entry. This panel also includes useful pre-defined searches, such as finding expired and weak passwords.

(C) Entries - Entries contain all the information you want to store for a website or application you are storing in KeePassXC. This view shows all the entries in the selected group. Each column can be resized, reordered, and shown or hidden based on your preference. Right-click the header row to see all available options.

(D) Preview - Shows a preview of the selected group or entry. You can temporarily hide this preview using the close button on the right-hand side or completely disable it in the application settings.
  Next is Toolbar

The toolbar provides a quick way to perform common tasks with your database. Some entries in the toolbar are dynamically disabled based on the information contained in the selected entry. Every common action in KeePassXC can be controlled with a keyboard shortcut as well.

(A) Database - Open Database, Save Database, Lock Database
(B) Entries - Create Entry, Edit Entry, Delete Selected Entries
(C) Entry Data - Copy Username, Copy Password, Copy URL, Perform Auto-Type
(D) Tools - Password Generator, Application Settings
(E) Search
   Finally, Application Settings and Screenshot Security
Users can configure KeePassXC to their personal tastes with a wide variety of general and security settings that apply to the whole application. These settings are accessible from Tools → Settings or the cogwheel icon from the toolbar. Settings include startup options, file management, entry management, user interface, language, security timeouts, and convenience.

KeePassXC ships with light and dark themes specifically designed to meet accessibility standards. In most cases, the appropriate theme for your system will be determined automatically, but you can always set a specific theme by using the View menu. When a new theme is selected you will be prompted to restart KeePassXC to apply the theme immediately.

By default, KeePassXC prevents recordings and screenshots of the application window on Windows and macOS. This prevents inadvertent spillage of information during meetings and disallows other applications to capture the window contents. If you would like to enable screen capture, you must start the application with the --allow-screen capture command line flag.
